We recently took our old rear projection TV to the dump. I salvaged the speakers out of it before. I want to build some sort of speaker setup with them. I cant find the wattage for one speaker. and I cant find the wattage or impedance for the other speaker. I've tried looking up the numbers on the back of both the speakers with no success.

Here are some pictures of the backs of the speakers.

If one of the speakers is rated at 8 ohms, then it's incredibly likely that they all are, as all the speakers were run from the same amplifier in the TV. The same goes for the maximum wattage rating.. if one is rated at 20 watts maximum, then that's the maximum all the speakers together could handle. The manufacturerer wouldn't mix and match a wide range of impedences and handling capacity of speakers designed to be used in one system.

What do you want to know... max rated wattage?
Very hard to find info without even knowing TV Make and Model.
Rough guess is they handle 20-25 watts max.. can't even really tell how big the speaker is, and because they are 'Shielded' speakers, can't guess by magnet size.

The larger of the two is about 6.5 inches and the smaller of the two is 3.5 inches (there is a third that is about 2 inches that i already know the impedance and wattage for).
I'm trying to find the continuous power capacity of both, and the impedance of the larger so I can buy an amp for them.
I am not sure about the make and model of the tv as we threw it away over a month ago.
I'm pretty sure these speakers should handle a higher wattage amount because there are 3 different speakers and the smallest has a wattage of 20W.
